1985 - John Romita Jr. - Hunk of the Month

From an interview with John Romita Jr. for The Romita Legacy hardcover book (2010):

“They used to get a lot of letters about all the good-looking single guys working at Marvel at the time. In that level was me, and Bob Layton, and Bill Sienkiewicz. They wanted to do a ‘Hunk of the Month’. And I said as long as they do it tongue in cheek and purely goofy that’s fine. Well, I was the only one it was ever done for. And it was taken completely as a pretentious, cocky John Romita Jr.-thinks-he’s-hot-shit kind of thing.”
